Had great interactions with the owners / managers. Very friendly, kind, and responsive. Location is right across the beach about a 3 min walk. Houses are lovely, accommodating, and decorated well. I went with two of my girlfriends and we had an absolute blast. I highly recommend staying at Griss. My stay was only four nights but I could have easily lived there for months.

Beautiful property with a nice private pool and relaxing area. A little noisy sleeping in the jungle but that is part of the fun! Great for going in the group or as a couple. Villas were good value and service was great.

The place is great, just a 2 minute walk to the beach, also the staff is very friendly and helpful. Apartments have fully equip kitchen, near super market, the pool is very nice too. Totally worth the money.

I have stayed at griss for first time in September 2008 in the first house upstairs. A beautiful wood cabin with everything you need in it. A bedroom upstairs and then the kitchen, dinning area and livingroom area and a lanai with a hammock to hang out. Then in 2010 I stayed in house Nr.2 upstairs and Nr.3. Each house is tastefully decorated and unique, and very functional and clean. Every year the owners make these houses look like new, there is always a little improvement. A couple of years back the added the pool and the barbaque/outdoor hang out- area away from the road and in the privacy of the beautiful tropical garden. It is a perfect place for families and adults alike, beautiful and quiet. It is also located right across the path that leads to one of the best surf spots in town, so you can be in the water several times a day and then just go home for a snack and a refreshing swimm at the pool. It is possible to schedule massages, surf lessons or surfboard rentals in the reception area. The owners are fantastic! They were there to assist me with every question or need I had, but at the same time they gave me all the privacy in the world to enjoy the house as my little private home by the beach. Griss is always a treat! enjoy!!!

Room Tip: I like the houses near the pool the best. Also they have 2 beautiful suites by the pool w/ private...

I arrived with my family in early August. We stayed in the upper unit which includes two double beds, equipped kitchen, dining and living area. The building and rooms are tastefully done constructed from natural wood. The above unit has two floors in a loft style--the 2nd floor having two rooms each with a bed and air conditioner. Everything is very clean and well kept and feels very new. The beds and couches were super comfortable and the room had almost no bugs even with the windows kept open. Whats great is the location to the beach-directly across from the lodge is a public access. This is the nicest beach area as it is all sand where further down it becomes very rocky with little space to sit. There are good restaurants located nearby and the main center is only a 20 minute walk. The room itself was the nicest we stayed in Costa Rica at the cheapest price! Very good for budget travelers
